#mauna kea management

As the 2022 Hawaiʻi State Legislative Session came to a close, Governor David Ige reflected upon the shift from deficits during the first two years of the pandemic, to financial recovery and restoration of funding for various initiatives this year.

House Speaker Scott Saiki is calling for new management at Mauna Kea, saying the University of Hawaiʻi should cease efforts to extend its master lease at the site.

For the second day in a row, a Pāhoa woman was arrested on the Mauna Kea access Road. It was reported that the woman had been disruptive to peaceful protesters and that she had briefly removed her clothing. The incident comes following another encounter with police on early Sunday in which she is accused of allegedly using her car to ram the vehicle of an Office of Mauna Kea Management ranger.
